Heroes : 1x07 : Nothing to Hide

Ponster

I thought I'd start a new thread or each episode to make things easier to follow and avoid spoilers in case it ever gets shown in Ireland.

episode synopsis

Niki opens up to a friend when her son becomes the subject of a crisis. Hiro begins to question his heroism after failing to act like a superhero in the face of danger. Nathan and his wife come up with a strategy to win the election. Claire finds out what happened to her missing video tape, and her father gets some surprising news from an associate. Matt and Audrey continue their investigation of the serial killer Sylar.

Great idia ive seen saying it about all the new shows but you should add a poll thats the only reason i can see to have each episode seprate. you see some ppl arnt botherd to post but will vote that way you get more of a responce in the polls and get to see a average view of it.

Its not a great idea. These threads will clog up the tv forum and will get on average about 5-10 posts and then it lays there taking up space.

Just post in the Heroes thread. Those threads also help if we want a forum for the show later on,because it shows that it has gotten loads of posts.

sweetie

Oi vey, always with the polls and threads for each episode! Enough already...

Err, no. From a mods Point Of View, if an episode only has one thread and/or only generates one thread per episode then it'll never get it's own forum. To prove that a series needs it's own episode it has to be almost polluting an existing forum with it's posts.
If it's really only 5-10 posts per episode anyhow then it shouldn't have it's own forum.


Besides that I liked this episode but maybe not as much as some others. I knew that the little kid would be a 'hero' as both his folks have their own powers, but didn't realise what it would be...

When requests for the 24 forum,the lost forum and the Prison break forum were made,large threads were referred to as proof of popularity before the shows had even aired in Ireland. All these shows got a forum. They were an influence.

Someone lock this thread. Think if fans of tons of shows put a seperate thread for each episodes,the tv forum would be over run with threads that don't last.

And the reason it only gets 5-10 posts is because it hasn't even aired in ireland or the uk yet.

Have made my feelings clear on this so not re-iterating them!

is a mods point of view more valid than that of a lowly registered user?

well actually if i remember the reason sg1 got its own forum was because there where too many posts clogging up the forum

so clog up one board to get another board?

Sounds like a plan.

Heres a crazy concept. If you don't like the threads, don't read them.

Having one large thread is totally counter productive as it tends to be full of spoilers for various episodes.

I mean jeez there are what two posts about the show in the forum at the moment and people are saying its clogging up the forum? o_O

Now if your not going to comment on the episode get the feck off the thread and make your own thread in feedback.

How about I read what I want because I can? And I comment about them because I can? That sound like a good concept?

You only have 2 threads now,but what about when you start making them for episodes 8-22??? Having one large thread is no different...if you are watching episode 7 then you must have seen those before it so how will you be spoiled? You make very little sense. And I'll continue to post,don't think your little rant will stop that.

How about you stay on topic in relation to the thread when opening your mouth and if you want to comment on the forum use the feedback forum.

Well heres a thought. DONT CLICK ON THE LINKS TO THE THREADS. Is that such a hard thing to do? You seem to think that the forum will magically fill up with 20 or so threads to heroes all the time? Cop on.

Until such time a heroes forum does appear this is the best forum suited for the topic.

How about those who haven't seen the later episodes yet. You want to continue to post in this thread stay on topic. If you want to continue this discussion either take it to feedback or PM.

Very true the only other thing that would be a + would be a poll along with every episode as ive said you will always get more votes in a poll than u will in posts so you get a more general/better idea of what others thought of this episode

I've already stumbled across a massive spoiler for this episode alone, in the previous thread as you dont know when posts overlap between episodes. So when I went to read about a previous episode I managed to half read a post before figuring out that it was for this episode.

So yeah, multiple threads for me, tbh...

As for the episode in question, I quite liked the exploding car bit with Hiro, yet again my favourite character so far. His child like fascination every time he uses his power is not only funny but exactly the way I'd be

Micka has a bit of a crappy super power but then I guess its early days yet

I still cant believe Peter (I think his name is, the guy who can tap into other peoples powers when he is around them) hasnt realised how his power works, yet. Its a bit frustrating
Though the dream bit combined with the black guys timely death seems to suggest there is more to it than even we have considered.

And yeah, I love the crossovers between the different stories... should make for interesting results when they all finally converge

Not the best episode so far but quite good all the same.

Anyone know who I complain to about this guy being mod?He is not a mod on this forum but surely in general mods are not supposed to act like children by telling a member to "get the feck off the thread".It is ridiculous that such a person can be a mod. He suddenly attacks me out of no where. I had not replied to him before. Can this be done on feedback?

Just wanted to know that,I won't post anymore "off topic" posts after this, lest this "mod" tries to have me banned for absolutly nothing,except that I disagree with him.

Take it to feedback if its not just about this thread. As was already said you don't have to go into every thread on the screen, do you?

Thanks,I'll take it to feedback.

By answering your question I could easily be accused of going "off topic",but since you asked,no of course I don't have to go into every thread. I am not bitching for the sake of bitching. Think if every single show had fans posting threads about every single episode,then the other threads get pushed down several pages and nearl lost within all the single episode threads. And it is the other threads that are more interesting in my opinion. I am not saying this will happen tomorrow,but if people see threads like this and they are fans of shows,they do the same and then other people follow that lead. Then eventually you have dozens of threads taking up pages. Thats what i see happening,and I think it would clog up and ruin this forum. My opinion,it might not even happen,but I was just saying my concerns until Mr "Mod" comes out of no where telling me to feck off. That I take offence to. I have always seen boards as above that crap you see on places like IMDb.

Its not going to get clogged up like you say. because if it gets that popular then it will get its own forum.

Again you are not listening,I don't just mean this show, I mean other people will start to do it for a ton of other shows. Just what i think will happen.

Even though I have already commented on the other thread I might as well say I enjoyed this ep. I am liking Nikki's story even though others don't seem to. She has gotten a lot more interesting recently.

Also Greg Grunberg is great,good character and actor.

The Petreilli (sp?) bros story isn't great. Well Peter's is not bad,but the giy who can actually fly,he is boring me so far.

Right after some deliberation, I'm gonna put a stop to multiple threads on one programme. The place will get cluttered, tis bad enough as is!

So all discussion of Heroes may take place in the main Heroes thread
